| 00:48.34 | Amadeus- | ( seebs ) I just really like watching Daglar smack people down occasionally. |
| 00:49.00 | Amadeus- | ^ My only complaint when Daglar does this is that he sometimes expects people to believe/trust what he says, when the actions (or lack of action) do not support it. |
| 00:49.13 | Amadeus- | I'm optimistic myself and DO believe him ..but, I can see why folks would not. |
| 00:49.52 | Amadeus- | he gets mad when people insinuate that he's being untruthful..however, sometimes his actions/decisions (or lack of actions/decisions) doesn't support what he's saying. |
| 00:50.41 | Ivnedar | hrrm, that's not something I've ever thought of daglar |
| 00:55.26 | seebs | Well, in this case, someone was accusing them of "ninja nerfing things to force people into the store", and I am pretty sure that's not only false, but impossible, since none of the stuff the store sells is relevant to the alleged "nerfs". |
| 01:01.50 | Amadeus- | well, the one with Conquest for example, could be taken as pressuring people to use vials to increase their prestige/favor gains since the "bug" in Conquest right now is a fairly signfiicant prestige/favor loss over what users got before. |
| 01:02.33 | Amadeus- | also, it's not too far-fetched to think of a company slowly/quietly nerfing things in preparation for new vials in the future (i.e., nerfing skinning/gathering/mining returns and then adding a vial later that increases them.) |
| 01:03.02 | Amadeus- | as I said ..I don't buy into it ...but there are people that have been burned by companies before. Lip service just doesn't cut it really -- actions have to support the statements. |
| 01:03.20 | Amadeus- | both the gathering bug and the conquest bug was reported over a month ago ...and nothing has happened to fix them. |
| 01:03.43 | Amadeus- | ..well, gathering nerf I guess...he didn't admit it a bug |
| 01:04.15 | seebs | He did respond a little to comments about it, saying he thought it might be an anti-botting measure. Dunno. |
| 01:04.51 | Amadeus- | yea, which really doesn't help his PR image at that point ....a month+ after it was reported and discussed on the forums he doesn't even know for sure. |
| 01:05.21 | Amadeus- | I rarely read anything other than the dev tracker and I still saw it discussed a couple of times |
| 01:06.14 | Amadeus- | The Conquest bug really needs fixed and I'm a little offended that he doesn't think it important enough after a month to pursue more aggressively. For those already at rank 90...who cares...but for those of us still grinding prestige...it's a big deal. |
| 01:06.44 | Amadeus- | especially since he acknowledged it was a bug the day after it went live. |
| 01:14.40 | seebs | Heh, the moderation thread is now mostly posts by two people I have on ignore, makes it a lot shorter. |
| 01:14.54 | seebs | And yeah, that does seem annoying. On the other hand, they have no shortage of urgent priorities to look at these days. |
| 01:25.55 | Ivnedar | the only crafting/gathering nerf I can think of was where it was 1 skill point for 1 craft for a month or so after SL launch, then it went back to normal levels |
| 01:27.21 | seebs | Yeah, and I think that was probably intentional to get some people into the higher tiers early on. |
| 01:35.08 | Ivnedar | unless they'd buffed the trash mob gathering at some point and then reverted it |
| 01:35.24 | Ivnedar | but I've always gotten ~90% vendor trash from mobs |
| 01:35.34 | Ivnedar | doesn't seem to have changed for me at all |
| 01:38.20 | Ivnedar | interesting comment from dahanese too |
| 01:39.04 | Ivnedar | saying you should honestly wonder what's up when the devs/employees don't care about the community |
| 01:39.44 | Ivnedar | I feel they do care, but the impression from trion as an entity feels like it doesn't |
| 01:39.48 | Ivnedar | if that makes sense |
| 01:43.30 | seebs | It does. And I am *suspecting* that this is a cultural thing that Scott Hartsman is working on. |
| 02:33.31 | seebs | So, silly question. Can a texture be loaded from a buffer in memory, rather than from a file, in Rift's addon API? |
| 02:33.55 | seebs | I had this brief notion of trying to add a character art feature to the RP addon, but I think it's impractical. |
| 02:34.09 | Ivnedar | you can preload a texture, and if you load that texture again, it doess't load it from disk the second time |
| 02:34.27 | Ivnedar | or are you trying to send a texture via addon messages? |
| 02:34.29 | seebs | I want to be able to pick one up from, say, a message sent by another player. |
| 02:34.30 | seebs | Yeah. |
| 02:34.37 | seebs | And also create textures in some way. |
| 02:34.39 | Ivnedar | I don't think that'd work |
| 02:34.50 | Ivnedar | unless you build a texture with a canvas |
| 02:34.51 | seebs | If not, I could always do something like a 64-color palette and use a Canvas to do a 32x32 image or something. |
| 02:41.16 | ZorbaTHut | vector art via canvas is probably your best bet |
| 02:42.54 | Amadeus- | anyone currently play TOR? I was thinking of trying it out again. |
| 02:43.11 | Amadeus- | I got max level in a month and quit ..lol. So, yea, no clue wtf I'd do if I logged in now ..hehe. |
| 02:54.25 | seebs | I think I probably can't do a usable UI for vector stuff, so it'd be pixels simulated with polys on canvas, and that seems sub-optimal. |
| 02:56.43 | Ivnedar | make a new frame for each pixel! |
| 02:56.58 | seebs | Still sorta toying with the idea of trying to make an in-game thing that lets you play poker and stuff. |
| 04:02.27 | seebs | Oooh. |
| 04:02.46 | seebs | There's an item [Overseers Helm of Repulsion]. Chain, but anyone can equip it as actual gear, because it doesn't have the calling restrictions. |
| 04:06.13 | Ivnedar | I'm thinking Josh York had to run out the door to holiday stuff |
| 04:06.21 | Ivnedar | there were a bunch of really weird ones in the latest update |
| 04:06.35 | Ivnedar | the 2h warrior weapon with sp instead of ap was amusing |
| 04:06.40 | Ivnedar | especially since it persists across upgrade paths |
| 04:50.23 | Ivnedar | ghostcrawler's leaving blizzard |
| 04:56.27 | seebs | <rolls dice> Hooray! |
| 04:57.59 | Ivnedar | other responses included "nooo!", "fleeing a sinking ship", "maybe things will improve now!" and "now who will we blame?" |
| 05:05.26 | Ivnedar | I don't suppose he's joining trion? :P |
| 05:11.35 | seebs | I hope not. |
| 07:38.57 | Ivnedar | ooer, trove supporters packs |
| 07:41.11 | seebs | ? |
| 07:41.24 | Ivnedar | like a mini kickstarter thing |
| 07:41.29 | Ivnedar | http://www.trovegame.com/support-trove/ |
| 07:41.35 | Ivnedar | priced to match existing trion credit packs |
| 07:42.03 | Ivnedar | I'm assuming they'll go into the trion account credit pool once the game launches |
| 07:42.39 | seebs | That is sorta tempting, yeah. |
| 07:43.12 | Ivnedar | Since I was likely going to get another $100 credit pack to use in rift, thinking I might get it for trove instead |
| 07:44.15 | seebs | I might. Boy, that tempts. |
| 07:44.32 | Ivnedar | 2 cornerstones! |
| 07:44.34 | seebs | Thing is, I have two rift accounts, and I usually like to keep them parallel. But I don't really think I'd want two Trove accounts. |
| 07:44.41 | Ivnedar | *nod* |
| 07:45.01 | seebs | I do like that they took PoE's "design a custom item" idea, which I think is awesome. |
| 07:45.22 | seebs | PoE also does "you can design an item for $1k". Or monster, or something. |
| 07:45.43 | seebs | And if I had tons of excess money, I would totally consider the design-a-biome. |
| 07:45.56 | seebs | Sadly, I do not have that kind of spare cash at the moment. |
| 07:45.58 | Ivnedar | oh wow, lol, I hadn't scrolled down ... |
| 07:46.02 | Ivnedar | I only saw up to $100 |
| 07:46.31 | seebs | The entire page doesn't-work for me, in that the Purchase buttons are over text. |
| 07:49.33 | Ivnedar | the tier upgrades idea is cool |
| 07:49.53 | Ivnedar | if you decide you want to go up a tier, buy a combination of lower tiers to bring your total spend up to the tier you want and you get it |
| 07:52.42 | seebs | Looks like there's no increase in bonus point rate above the $100 tier. |
| 07:52.50 | Ivnedar | yeah, fixed from there |
| 07:52.59 | Ivnedar | follows the existing trion credits amounts doesn't it? |
| 07:53.14 | Ivnedar | the numbers looked familiar |
| 07:59.30 | Ivnedar | lol, mentioned to wife that I might go for the $100 one, she's trying to talk me into the $200 one ... |
| 08:01.56 | seebs | Heh. |

| 17:59.49 | ZorbaTHut | I wouldn't bet on the credit pools being merged post-release - they might be, but they also might not be. Don't be disappointed if they're not. :) |
| 21:22.22 | seebs | Worth knowing. I was sort of expecting them to be simply because if they aren't, it shouldn't be hard to have credit pools separate between live and PTS. :P |
